We’re underway again at Fenway Park! This week’s Opening Day was my seventh with the Red Sox, and ninth in Major League Baseball. I’m getting old.

As Opening Days go, this was a good one. The Red Sox came from behind to beat the Tampa Bay Rays on a walk-off hit by Hanley Ramirez in the twelfth inning.

Before the game, the team welcomed Winter Olympians and Paralympians from the New England region in a moving pre-game ceremony, which included a special appearance by David Ortiz.

I’m back at Fenway, where another home stand is underway. Last night, we had Olympic gymnast and Needham, Massachusetts native, Aly Raisman, in to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. That made for some nice moments, but unfortunately the game itself was dry as far as photos go.
